• How did it feel
    To fall down?
    How did it feel
    To collapse into nothing?

    How did it feel
    As the smoke billowed
    As the people cried
    As the husband said goodbye to the widow?

    Please tell me
    How did it feel
    To crash and burn
    How did it feel
    As the tresses gave
    As the children watched
    As the pastor prepared the graves?

    I want to know
    What it's like to be steel
    And concrete
    And fireproofing that never worked.

    I want to know
    What it's like to be lies
    And excuses
    And politicians that always smirked.

    In short,
    All I want to know is when this will end,
    And when things will start to be better again.
